Well you forgot the most important step to get those benefits, that would be the application to become America's 51st through 89th states. Though most of your 39 counties probably don't have the necessary population to become their own states.

The UK is in trouble, but not that desperate

Could have fooled me with the Tories in power for so long trying to dismantle the NHS and all the other few benefits that you guys have over The US.

Like you guys haven't given Labor actual power since Thatcher and Reagan. We at least gave the Democrats a supermajority, kinda, for a total of 6 months across 3 different administrations.

Not great, and we seem to have shown the rest of you how to turn into plutocracies.

That would actually be pretty good tbh, mostly because the football hooligans would have to start waving a different flag and that would be hilarious to watch.

Also it would make the us impressively wide, almost (?) shorter to fly away from it to get to the other side.
